LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
My favorite way to make fried chicken:
Dip chicken breasts in flour, then eggwash and then in breadcrumb mixture:
Mix together..
Crunchy type breadcrumbs (I make mine homemade)
Parmesan cheese to taste
Salt/pepper
Dried parsley
Garlic powder
Coat completely and fry in peanut oil until done.
Drain on paper towels and salt to taste.
They are so tasty.
When I have leftover I top each fried breast with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese and mozarella then bake until cheese is bubbly. Hubby is a huge fan :)
They also taste wonderful stuffed with ham and cheese before the coatings go on and then fried for special occasions.
Call 9-11, they'll know...
This sounds oh so good! Thank You!
lol
Just took another dose of skelaxin and oxycontin. It will feel like I'm on vacation in about 30 minutes.
I recently was perscribed skelaxin for a lower back injury...Kicked My A$$!
Martha Stewart's is fabulous.
LOL! Oh, man. A giggle on a cooking thread.
Thanks.
FRIED CHICKEN
Serves 8
Cook dark meat, which takes a bit
longer, apart from white meat to ensure
doneness.
6 cups nonfat buttermilk
1/4 cup plus 5 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup hot sauce, such as
Tabasco (optional)
2 two- to three-pound chickens,
each cut into 8 pieces for frying
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon freshly ground black
pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne
pepper
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 pounds vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons bacon drippings
(optional)
1. Combine buttermilk, 1/4 cup
salt, and hot sauce, if using, in a bowl.
Transfer to a large, airtight container.
Add chicken pieces, turning to coat
in the liquid. Cover, and refrigerate at
least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Heat oven to 200 degrees.
Combine flour, remaining 5 teaspoons salt,
black and cayenne peppers, and
baking powder.
3. Place dredging mixture in a
large brown paper bag. Shake vigorously. One
at a time, place chicken pieces
in the bag, and shake to coat.
Place coated pieces on a clean plate or tray.
Heat vegetable shortening (and
bacon drippings, if using) in two
10-inch cast-iron skillets over medium-low
heat. Using a frying thermometer
to measure temperature, bring
shortening to 375 degrees; it should be at a
medium, not a rolling, boil. Use
tongs to place thighs and
drumsticks in skillets. Fry until coating is
dark golden on bottom, 10 to 14 minutes;
then, using tongs, turn chicken
over. Cook until coating is dark golden,
another 10 to 14 minutes. An
instant-read thermometer inserted
into a thigh should register 170 degrees.
Drain on brown paper bags or
several layered paper towels.
Transfer cooked pieces to baking sheets, and
place in the oven to keep warm
while frying remaining chicken.
Using a slotted spoon, remove any bits of
coating left in skillets, and discard.
Place breasts and wings in
skillets. Cook 10 to 14 minutes on each side.
Drain on brown paper bags.
Remove dark meat from oven, and
serve.
I could see where yogurt would work.. add some tang too...
It's the live cultures that do it, I like it fried with some
tandoori spice, tikka masala, or maybe some green curry.
"There's no such thing as religion, when talking about...
good curry."
I know it's not fried but how about some "Drunken Chicken".
FReepers Fried Chicken 1) In a bowl or dish, combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt, mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 egg
- seasoning salt to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste, (easy on the salt because the soup has plenty of salt.)
- oil for frying
2) In a plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Place 1 piece of chicken pieces in bag, close top and shake until coated. Repeat.
Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts.
3) Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces. Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the 'dough' into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
4) Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
Drain on paper towels and serve.

Thank you for this info, I will be careful.
Bisquick is the best coating for chicken I've ever tasted. Just dip the pieces in milk, then in Bisquick, then dot with butter and bake, basting with the melted butter every so often. I forget whether Bisquick has salt. I think it does. If it doesn't, add salt.
